Why This Book Exists

So, you've given your life to God. Amazing! Life-changing! Eternity-altering! But also... kind of lonely?

If you're anything like me, stepping into faith meant stepping away from some questionable friendships. The people I used to hang out with didn't exactly align with my new beliefs, and suddenly, my social circle shrank faster than a cheap T-shirt in the dryer. I was left asking myself: "Now what?"

Making friends as a Christian—especially if you've left behind an old, toxic crowd—can feel like trying to dance with two left feet. You want to be friendly, but not fake. You want to connect but not compromise. And let's be honest, some Christians can be... well, a little awkward. (No offence, but you know what I mean.)

This book is here to help.

What This Book Won't Do:

• It won't give you a magic formula to make everyone like you. (Not even Jesus pulled that off.)


• It won't tell you to change your personality to fit in.


• It won't encourage weird, forced friendships just because someone sits next to you in church.

What This Book Will Do:

• Help you make real, meaningful friendships without feeling like a total outsider.


• Teach you how to be approachable, engaging, and fun while staying true to your faith.


• Show you how Jesus himself was the ultimate friend-maker (and how we can learn from him).


• Give you practical tips to forgive, overcome social awkwardness, deal with rejection, and enjoy making friends.

Friendship is one of the greatest gifts God gives us—but it takes some effort. Let's figure it out together.
